In case of non-mission critical deployments, you can perform a Sun Lustre Storage System software installation, and let Sun Support Services validate the installation against the Enterprise Installation Services standards. Based on this validation, you can purchase a support contract for Sun Lustre Storage System software from Sun. Key components of the service include: Installation Configuration Check, Installation Verification, and full documentation including the Statement of Conformance.
